Review

The Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe takes pride in its quick and quiet service. But is it really worth relying on especially during life-threatening situations?

Today, by reading this handy guide, you will find out the answer to that. We will take a more analytical look at this convenient biometric gun safe so that we could determine whether it is worth buying or not.

Design, Size, and Capacity of Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe

Looking at its price tag, you might find yourself wondering why this Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe is at least a hundred dollars more expensive than the regular small-sized biometric gun safes. It’s not like it’s made of heavy duty solid steel, neither does it have a large storage capacity to handle your entire weapon collection.

It can only hold one hand gun. So why is it currently priced at a little over $260 dollars?

Well, the manufacturer said it is the “ideal choice for a home or business looking for added security.” The fact that they mentioned businesses clearly means that they intended for this Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe to be sold for commercial purposes.

So basically, we can expect this Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe to be at least sturdy enough to survive a few years of service. After all, we never know when emergencies will happen. It’s only convenient to have one of these lying around the office.

We’ll get into the specific details of this vault’s safety features, but for now we will look at its aesthetic qualities.

It weighs only 4.2 pounds, and it gives you multiple mounting options, so you can be as creative as you want when it comes to installing this. Put it somewhere hidden but also easily accessible to people who know its location.

Safety and Features of Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe

As for the basic safety features: this Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe has an 18-gauge steel construction, meaning it is not the strongest model out there but it is decent nonetheless.

Your firearms will be kept safely inside of the foam-lined interior. You will be given quick access to your weapon once the scanner recognizes your fingerprint. The special drawer will drop down, allowing you to pull out your gun immediately.

However, you will also notice that there’s a bit of a mechanical noise as the electronic latch locks and unlocks, so that might defeat the purpose of trying to recover a gun stealthily while an intruder approaches. So while the “quick” part of the manufacturer’s claim is true, they certainly didn’t get it right for the “quiet” part.

Nevertheless, there are a few other handy features that somehow help boost this gun safe’s appeal. For example, the interior courtesy light opens as the drawer does, so you can see the contents of the vault easily.

The biometric scanner will not open unless it recognizes any of the 120 individual fingerprints that you stored in its memory (which it allows you to do). Unauthorized users will be deterred by the high strength locking mechanism.

Conclusion

Lastly, this Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 Gun Safe comes with an emergency override key that lets you open it up without the biometric scanner. The durability, speed, and sturdiness factors help make this model an incredible machine worth buying, but it is not the quietest gun safe you will ever find.
